Is Cavalry warbands also 12 models big?

Yes, they are.

It wouldn't make sense if not if you wamted to mix Warg Riders and uruk-hai for eg in the same warband.

Up to 12 models. You can have a hero leading 5 knights only. The same as infantry warbands it is up to 12 models.

cavalry warbands can be 12 models big therefore 12 knights. I have taken warbands of 12 knights to GW tourneys and nothing been said.

Can someone clarify this???? Do cavalry models count as two members in a warband?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jan 21, 2013 9:21 pm

No, cavalry always count as one model, as it syas in the rules, the rider and mount are one model. If the mount dies it is still 1 model, same if the rider of a warg dies.

No cavalry count as 1 warrior.
The pictures in the source books are misleading... But there is nothing that says that cavalry take up 2 warrior slots.

So if you had 12 warg riders and some of them were thrown for example but the warg passed its courage test wouldnt that mean the warband has more than 12??
Excuse if I have rules totally wrong am rusty on the "cavalry" side of it, but be good to be put straight

So your warband is
Hero
12 Warg Riders ( Orc + Warg )

If either orc or warg die, you still have 12 models in your warband. If both die, then you have 11 etc etc.

Yes that is true ..unless all your models get knocked prone by SB ( ok this is a very unlikely situation ) none are killed then wouldn't you have 24 models on the field of battle ?.

That would only be if all your wargs pass their courage tests. If they do, then the extra wargs wouldn't count as new models, so they have absolutely no effect on break point other than the fact that you now have extra wargs running around.

It's as likely that a well timed Hurl would cause that situation as a SB.
